East winds really cranking now.

This is kind of nuts.

Given 2-3 days ago the models were consistently showing boring ridging in that range, it is nice. From a personal stand point I am going to be gone the week after next anyway, so I don't mind if we kind of reshuffle the deck that week.

Warning shot. Think Christmas-New Year's.

Some big league cold sliding east.

Really nice mountain snow next weekend on this run. Spokane gets annihilated too.

Nice snow event for the S. Plains on this run too.

Cold enough for snow here by next Wednesday morning, precip looks rather sparse though.

Really chilly trough next week.

Not really, unless as Brian said there are significant trends. If its just the block moving in a little circle and ending up in about the same place then no. I would enjoy it more in the long range. lol

NWS seems to think there won't be much valley fog this week...

PATIENCE

Looks like a -4 departure at SLE today with a 47/29.

Warning shot.

Wow, the 18z is pretty chilly for the 2nd half of next week.

It seems like the higher latitude blocking is beginning to emerge at the end of this run of the EC ensembles. Height rises are beginning to creep into the SE too.

December could wind up being pretty chilly in the valleys and basins. Especially if we transition straight to a more favorable upper level patter the 2nd half of the month.

36 and brilliant sunshine here!

I am glad there are some powerlines in these pics.

No hourly Obs since 9am. What gives?

Hopefully I will be in Spokane for next winter...

Maybe as likely as a top tier regional blast.

The chances of us having a cool summer are about as good as another January 1950.

I'm sure the ensembles show a ton of promise.

Looks like SLE hit 29 this morning.
